Determine Fault in a Nebraska Car Accident Case

When you take legal action against the person who caused your auto accident, you have the burden to prove that they were negligent and such negligence resulted in an injury-causing collision.

Building a strong case against the at-fault driver is important. Nebraska is a modified comparative negligence state. This means that should your case be taken to court, your award amount may be impacted by the proportion of your responsibility for the crash. For instance, if a judge or jury decides that you should receive $10,000 in compensation but also concludes that you were 20% responsible, you will be awarded $8,000 (a 20% reduction). If you were found to be 50% or more responsible, you would not be entitled to any compensation at court.

At Reagan Melton & Delaney, our Sarpy County car accident attorneys will conduct our own investigation of your accident, thoroughly reviewing reports, records, photos, and any other evidence that will help prove fault. We will develop a compelling and persuasive legal strategy to present during negotiations or at trial.

Seeking Fair Compensation for Car Accident Damages in NE

After a car accident, you might suffer various expenses and losses, which are referred to as economic and non-economic damages. Taking legal action against the responsible party and being awarded a settlement can help you pay for accident-related costs.

You may seek compensation for various types of car accident damages in Nebraska, including, but not limited to:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Pain/suffering
• Lost wages

Although your auto accident case may seem straightforward, when you are going through the claims or lawsuit process, it may be anything but. You might find that the at-fault party's insurance is refusing to settle on a fair amount. Because the company is in the business of preserving its financial interests, it will work hard to prove that their customer was not at fault or that you were partially responsible.

If you are unable to settle out of court with the insurance company, you may file a lawsuit against the driver. Should you pursue this legal avenue, you would have to present a compelling case in front of a judge or jury.

At Reagan Melton & Delaney, our Sarpy County car accident lawyers will fight for you throughout your case. We will fiercely negotiate with the insurance company to attempt to settle out of court. However, we are also prepared to take the matter to trial to seek a favorable result for you.
